Metacognitive Control and Strategy Selection: Deciding to Practice Retrieval During Learning ( PDF, 772 KB, 18 PP)
This study identified a compelling metacognitive illusion that occurs during self-regulated learning: Once students can recall an item they tend to believe they have “learned” it, which leads students to terminate practice rather than practice retrieval. Terminating practice is a strategy choice that ultimately results in poor retention. Keywords: retrieval practice, metacognition, self-regulated learning, study-time allocation, learning.

We have all of this testing and we wonder why our students are anxious? Remind me please what the goal is here - to achieve by learning or to score high on a test to prove that students can master a test?
